Personally I think everybody is short sheeting their MJ'S. I'm lead footed and hard on machinery. My DD is a '89 SB, 2.5, 5sp, 2WD, 4:10 and 215.60R15.223K on the clock. The only time I do under 80mph is if there's a cop behind me. I constantly pull a 600lb trailer with a 500 gallon water tank on it over a mile of rough cross country to fill stock water tanks. Using a 2" ball mounted on the factory bumper. And yes, it's rust free. I would not hesitate to take off on a 600 mile trip with it. I would check all rubber hoses first tho. I think they are hardy, reliable pieces of machinery, and like any machine must be maintained and PM'ed. Jim
